Program

Our community webinars provide anyone interested in astrology with a wide range of topic areas. They also provide a venue for both established and new astrologers to share their passion.

Kepler also offers a variety of astrological and professional development workshops to help you continue your astrological education and build your business. Workshops do not have assignments or feedback from the instructor.

Kepler also has intensive courses as part of our Certificate program. The two-to-three courses in an individual Certificate allow students to delve deeply into a particular area of astrology. Certificate courses also form the core of the Diploma in Professional Astrology, which combines both breadth and depth to expand your astrological knowledge.

The Kepler Certificate Program brings first-class instructors together with a varied selection of classes so that you can build your skills, whether you are a beginner or professional.

Are you interested in learning how astrologers work?Are you a professional interested in adding to your skills? Are you interested in learning with experts in the field? Do you want more than memorization and a single point of view? Do you want intensive in-depth instruction with instructor feedback?

Kepler College is committed to encouraging personal and intellectual growth in a democratic and cooperative setting and is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in education. Read full non-discrimination policy

The catalog of our intensive certificate courses is listed below. These courses are different than workshops - students will not only have regular live meetings, but an online course site where assignments, discussion forums and instructor feedback help them understand the material. You can take an individual course or a series, depending on your interests. Because of the time commitment with these intensive courses, most students take just a single course per term.

The core courses in the Fundamentals series are offered every term. Other courses may only be offered once per year. Please check our website or subscribe to our newsletter for the most up-to-date information.

For students who want to anchor their astrological knowledge in a well-rounded series of courses that: 1) grow their practical skills, 2) provide a broader understanding of astrology's history, and 3) expand their understanding of the philosophies that lead to different types of practice, there is a recommended path of courses.

It will take approximately 3-4 years to complet this series of courses if students take a single class each term. ISAR and NCGR (National Council for Geocosmic Research) lets students who have completed the this program to take Professional level exams without needing to take the previous exams. Kepler acknowledges the student's who complete this series with a badge for a Professional Diploma in Astrology.

My first experience with the Kepler Certificate Program has been an amazing journey. After many years of reading and trying to understand how astrology works, I decided I needed help pulling all the pieces together.

Since I work and have a family, the Kepler online learning program has been a wonderful way for me to reach out to the Universe and understand just a little more about who I am and where I want to go. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and accessible.

The online learning environment is a great tool with video, audio, webinars, resource links, pdf documents, etc. Kepler also includes their own text and work book and a great selection of an easy to understand astrology books. With the ability to review any area I may find challenging, my learning is exciting and adapted to my needs.

I am enthusiastic and looking forward to continuing my astrological search with Kepler.
